Thanks Chris and Tom! A few thoughts below.

I’m wondering if it might make sense to move forward with team phone calls / mailing list emails, and wait to do a f2f in Paris since we’re only two months out. 

Topics I would love to discuss in the regular meetings include:
- user survey (specifically the app dev section)
- working with SDK communities
- agenda and goals for Summit f2f meeting
- any activities or at least learnings we can gather from re:invent
- syncing up with the personas team as they are building out new end user personas

One possible agenda suggestion: if we can get some app developers / end users in the room, it would be great to gather feedback on developer.openstack.org and the type of content that would be useful to them as we build out this section going forward.

The goal of this meeting should be to reach a wider audience with this effort, recruit folks to help develop content and outreach.    I believe we should also flesh out how this working group can interact with the User Committee, Foundation, Vancouver Summit, and broader OpenStack community.

I also think one of the primary functions of this group should be getting feedback into the development process (as well as efforts like defcore) to improve the platform and experience for app developers.

Finally, we mentioned this on the first call, but the Foundation is posting a job opening for an app dev community manager, who I think could play an important supporting many of these efforts. We’ll be promoting the new position next week, so please let us know if you have any recommendations from your networks.
